Synopsis

The new novel's rating has just been posted

Jiang Qinian had an exceptional wood spiritual root and a bright future ahead of him. But his twin brother, Jiang Yutao, had an exceptional metal spiritual root, and metal overcame wood. As a result, Jiang Qinian's spiritual root was damaged from birth, leaving him frail and making it difficult for his cultivation to advance!

Just when he finally managed to take a master, another extraordinarily gifted junior fellow disciple appeared: Chu Zhiyi. Soon, the rumors started up again!

When a divine flame appeared, his brother took him along to seize it. On his first night away from the sect, he had a nightmare.

Was this really a journey that would cost him his life?

All so his brother could be spurred to work harder and strive to stay ahead!

All night, Jiang Qinian dreamed of his brother being belittled, getting his face slapped, and taking a wife, over and over again.

So his brother was the overpowered chosen one, and he was just a disposable extra there to motivate him?

Jiang Qinian did everything he could to avoid his deadly fate. But to his utter surprise, the love potion that should have fallen on either his brother or his future sister-in-law instead ensnared him and Chu Zhiyi!

From then on, they were tangled up together and began falling for each other.

He tested the waters in every way he could. Only when his brother worked hard and went around stirring up trouble could Jiang Qinian keep his life!

Back then

Jiang Yutao: “Fortunes rise and fall. Never look down on a poor young man!”

Jiang Qinian clapped a hand over his mouth and smiled awkwardly. “My brother forgot to take his medicine before leaving the house.”

Now

Jiang Yutao: “That divine flame is mine! Remember, this isn’t a discussion. It’s a notice!”

Jiang Qinian: “Brother, you’re amazing! You’re the best!”

From then on, Jiang Qinian became his brother’s biggest fan. Brother’s great! Brother’s awesome! Brother’s the best in the world!

But then Chu Zhiyi went off the rails, too. He pinned Jiang Qinian against the wall, looking arrogant as he said, “Hah! Man! You’ve successfully caught my attention!”

Jiang Qinian: “...”

Jiang Yutao: “I thought you were my brother, and you’re trying to seduce my little brother?”
